Fast forward 2 (or 3) months and Google has started rolling out these changes for users. This is a server side rollout and I also got the new design with Google TV app version - 4.39.3507.792126911.4-release.<br /><br />While we can not say this is some massive overhaul of the design. Google implemented the changes here and there in the app. Lets start with the changes which are immediately noticeable on the home page of the app.</p><p>The most noticeable change in the app is that the app no longer have a grayish background. Left image shows the old UI and right image shows the new one. The gray color on the tabs at the navigation bar has been changed to a much darker color but not totally black. The search button now have background and it's color changes according to the most dominant color of the movie poster in its background.

I shared about <a href="https://www.androidauthority.com/pixel-camera-expressive-redesign-teardown-3567371/" target="_blank">this design on Android Authority</a> some weeks ago. I installed the Camera app from Pixel 10 on my Pixel 9. While you might think that installing it on older Pixels might bring some of those features from Pixel 10, unfortunately that is not possible here. Installing it on older Pixel will just force close the app. But I managed to take screenshots from the settings screen which I am sharing here.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Here is the first look at Google Pixel's Battery Health Assistant feature

<p>With Google Pixel 9a, Google is bringing a feature called Battery Health Assistant which automatically helps manage the long term health and performance of its battery as it ages. Battery health assistance will also tune the phone’s charging speed based on adjusted capacity. You may notice a slight change in battery charging performance. Battery health assistance settings on Pixel 9a aren’t customizable by the user. (<a href="https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-9a-battery-health-assistance-3540234/" target="_blank">Check here for more info</a>)</p><p>This feature is also supposed to come to other Pixel devices (not all) but it could be optional.

Google has been adding a lot of features lately and doing various UI changes on the Circle to Search interface. Users can currently trigger Circle to Search by long pressing the gesture nav handle or if you use the three button nav, you can long press the home button. <div><br /></div><div>Now it looks like Google is adding more ways to open Circle to Search. With the latest update of Google beta app (version 16.2.39.sa.arm64 beta) I found some code that hints that Google is adding more ways to access your favorite feature (in case you hate it, just deal with it). Just take a look at the screenshot below -</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ObcvFZlNwpI/Z4-2ZA2xOEI/AAAAAAAAtlg/1Lwn-DPBHr4i9Yt6tGvHZrfRWOyFQT-LACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_ORG_1737470629345.jpeg"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="1054" data-original-width="1003" height="640" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ObcvFZlNwpI/Z4-2ZA2xOEI/AAAAAAAAtlg/1Lwn-DPBHr4i9Yt6tGvHZrfRWOyFQT-LACNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/IMG_ORG_1737470629345.jpeg" width="609" /></a></div><br /><br />In case you don't know, <b>OMNIENT </b>is codename for Circle To Search feature. The code above hints about more entry points for Circle to Search. </div><div><br /></div><div>We already know about NAV_HANDLE, HOME and FILES_APP (yes, you can trigger Circle to Search in Files by Google app when you open an image in it). The rest of the entry points seems new. I am not sure about what KIKI_APP and META is. Let's talk about the rest though.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>OMNIENT_ENTRYPOINT_LONG_PRESS_OVERVIEW - </b>Overview screen is basically the recents screen which shows all your apps you have opened. So it's possible Google could adding a button in the overview screen which can trigger Circle to Search for the app which is in focus in the recents screen.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>OMNIENT_ENTRYPOINT_LONG_PRESS_POWER -</b> Google can add a new option to trigger CTS by long pressing the power button. I think this will be part of a system update (Android 16 probably). On pixels, currently you can only set power button to trigger assistant on long press or open power menu.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>OMNIENT_ENTRYPOINT_EDGE_PANEL - </b>The Edge panel on a Samsung Galaxy device is a shortcut tab that provides quick access to your favorite apps. So you will be able soon add a shortcut here to trigger Circle to Search.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>OMNIENT_ENTRYPOINT_ACCESSIBILITY_SYSTEM_ACTION -</b> I am not sure if this new of Google already does this. This is for users who use Android accessibility services. It's possible that Google might add a shortcut somewhere in the accessibility menu to trigger Circle to Search.</div><div><br /></div><div>All these changes are a welcome addition and provide more flexibility to customize how they access Circle to Search on their device. I am not sure when all these will changes will be available but we will see soon. </div><div><br /></div><div>You can follow me on <a href="https://x.com/AssembleDebug" target="_blank">X</a>/<a href="https://www.threads.net/@assembledebug" target="_blank">Threads</a>/<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/assembledebug.bsky.social" target="_blank">BlueSky</a> and follow my <a href="https://t.me/GappsLeaks">Telegram channel</a> for more updates.</div>

It would better detect your queries in noisy environment.</div><div><br /></div><div>Above changes are not live yet and were spotted in the beta version 15.44.27.28.arm64 of Google app.</div><div><br /></div><div>Follow my <a href="https://t.me/GappsLeaks" title="">telegram channel</a> for such updates, you can also follow me on <a href="https://www.threads.net/@assembledebug" title="">Threads</a>, <a href="https://androiddev.social/@AssembleDebug" title="">Mastodon</a> and <a href="https://x.com/AssembleDebug" title="">X</a> (Twitter). </div>

Google has released the feature but it is only available for US users and plans to expand it outside the US as well. <div><br /></div><div>But if you know about Google, that might even take months. In case if you have got a phone which is rooted, you can enable it now and even outside US. Two users from my telegram group have tested this method and it worked for them. I can't guarantee the same thing for everyone though. In this post I am listing the tools and necessary steps which is required to enable the feature. </div><div><br /></div><h3>Required Things</h3><div><ol><li>App manager - <a href="https://github.com/MuntashirAkon/AppManager/releases/tag/v3.1.7" title="">Download from GitHub</a></li><li>Play Store (42.0.20) • <a href="https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-42-0-20-release/" title="">Download from Apkmirror</a></li><li>A rooted phone</li></ol><h3>How to enable </h3></div><div><ull><li>1.
